Nextide announces nexPro Portal and services

Nextide is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the nexPro Portal suite of products for the Geeklog Community. A complete range of standard as well as custom services are also available to address your support requirements. We, at Nextide, have been using Geeklog as a base development framework for our client projects over the past few years. This has given us the opportunity to create a pre-integrated version of Geeklog and nexPro Portal. In addition, nexPro Portal includes a number of components that are well suited for business oriented applications as well as community sites.

Some of the key new plugins and features include:

nexForm: Dynamic online forms and Form Editor

nexFlow: workflow engine to automate form review, approval and business processes

nexFile: Document management with version control and advanced admin features

nexList: List administration and used as core admin tool for other plugins

nexMenu: Dynamic site menu administration

pre-integrated with the forum and the captcha plugins

All of the content on our new site has been done with nexContent (excluding the wiki). We are planning to release more premium solutions in the months to come. The next premium product scheduled for release is the nexPro Project Management plug-in.

Nextide is offering several levels of support that includes remote support, updates and telephone support for your critical sites.

The site has been designed to provide you with several means of product evaluation. There are product overviews, video tutorials and wiki documentation to help you get familiar with our solutions. Please post any questions and feedback on our site in the forums and we will promptly follow-up.

We hope that you will find the time to visit our site and explore how these solutions can help you.

No, he doesn't have to explain anything and nobody fell victim to money. "Open source" doesn't mean nobody should be able to make any money ever.Open source is simply a way of collaborating on something, not an ethical anti-commercial statement or whatever.Blaine contributes to the open source community as an open source developer.

Of course it's fine to mention it, of put a banner somewhere, but this story is only written to promote nexPro, and makes a commercial site of Geeklog.net.

I guess that about 25% of the members have commercial activities, so you think it's OK if they all start writing stories to promote their commercial activities on the homepage of Geeklog?

Nextide is our company name so we as empoyees are not under GPL but yes, the product nexPro and nexContent and coming soon nexProject are. The product nexPro includes a number of other plugins. We have tried to describe our products and services on our site well but did expect some questions. You are paying for our services when you buy nexPro, which includes the service to distribute and provide support above and beyond adhoc community support.

I encourage anyone with serious questions to signup on our site and ask questions in our forum.
